Bacterial leaf blight	Collect the infested leaves in a polythene bag and destroy by burning. Spray 0.01% Agrimycin Safe period: 15 days  OR Spray 0.01% Streptomycin Safe period: 15 days
Mulberry Pests
Pink mealy bug (Tukra)	Collect the infested portion (along with the pest) in a polythene bag and destroy by burning. Spray 0.2% of DDVP (@ 2.63ml/litre water 12 to 15 days after pruning. Safe period: 15 days. Release predatory lady bird beetles Scymnus coccivora @ 250 adult beetles/ac.
Leaf roller	Spray 0.076% of DDVP (@ 1 ml/lit water 12-15 days after pruning. Safe period: 15 days. Release egg parasitoids Trichogramma chilonis   @ 4Tricho cards/acre after 3 days of chemical spray.
Thrips	Spray 0.1% of Rogor (@ 3 ml/liter water 12-15 days after pruning.    Safe period: 20 days Release predatory lady bird beetles Scymnus coccivora @ 250 adult beetles/ac.
Silkworm Diseases
Grasserie	Conduct thorough disinfection of rearing house, surroundings and appliances with recommended disinfectant solution. Conduct an optional disinfection with 0.3% slaked lime solution when high incidence of disease noticed in the previous crop. Practice personal and rearing hygiene. Maintain optimum temperature and humidity in the rearing house. Do not feed tender leaves in late instars, feed quality mulberry leaf and avoid overcrowding. Apply bed disinfectant, Ankush or Vijetha as per schedule.
Muscardine	Conduct thorough disinfection of rearing house, surroundings and appliances with recommended disinfectant solution. Practice personal and rearing hygiene. Avoid low temperature and high humidity in the rearing house. If required use heater/stove to raise the temperature. Regulate bed humidity during the rainy season by dusting slaked lime powder during moult. Control mulberry pests in the mulberry garden. Pick up diseased larvae before mummification and dispose them by burning. Apply bed disinfectant, Ankush or Vijetha and Vijetha supplement as per schedule and quantity.
Flacherie	Conduct thorough disinfection of rearing house, surroundings and appliances with recommended disinfectant solution. Practice personal and rearing hygiene. Feed silkworms with good quality leaf. Do not provide over matured/over stored /dirty leaf.

Apply bed disinfectant, Ankush or Vijetha as per schedule.
Uzi fly	Avoid accidental introduction of silkworm pest, uzi fly (Exorista bombycis) by following precautions: Do not transport any reeling/seed cocoons from the uzi infested area to your area. If cocoons are marketed from your area to uzi infested area, ensure that no uzi maggots/pupae are hiding in the gunny bags used for transportation of cocoons before taking them back.
